Welcome to Meditation Foundation Program! I'm very thrilled you're here.

Meditation is a key component to any spiritual practice. It helps bring us into the right mindset to be in control of our day. Whether we meditate in the morning, mid-day, or before bed, it is vital to living a life with intention!

Before we begin our meditation practice, it is important to set a strong foundation. That's where this program comes in. It will set you up for a successful meditation practice that will be with you through your life's journey.

This program is simple: each day for the next 7 days you will receive a recording and simple task to complete. The recording is a 5 minute meditation with an additional 5 minutes of music only. Listen to the recording for as long as you can. If you're pressed for time, you can stop at the 5 minute mark after we "seal our practice." If time permits, you can stay for as long as you'd like until the recording ends.

The tasks that accompany each recording will prepare your foundation for your meditation practice and affirm your commitment to yourself and living life with intention. To help you stay focused, you will receive a reminder email each day. Set aside anywhere from 7 to 20 minutes to listen to the recording and complete your task.

It would be handy to have a journal with you during the program as there will be some things to write down in preparation for your meditation practice. It will also act as a record for daily meditation experience as I've included some post-practice reflection questions for you. I've also included a section with my Higher-Self Journaling technique. It's a great tool that compliments your meditation practice and I hope it serves you well!

Now, take a deep breath in ... let out a great, big sigh ... and get ready to sink into stillness. We begin tomorrow with the Day 1 module where we'll get ready to build your meditation practice foundation.

If you have any questions along the way, email me at stillness@paulgalloro.com. Also be sure to join our Facebook group to connect with others in this program and the others I've created. We're all in there ready to support you!

Hugs,

Today we establish why you are here. You want to incorporate meditation into your daily life for a reason. You might have a general idea as to why you do:
"it's something I've been meaning to do for a while"
"I know I *should* meditate"
"Karen from the office seems to have changed her life with meditation. I wanna do that!"

Now it's time to get clear about *your* personal reason for beginning a daily meditation practice.

Listen to the recording in the next section and then take a few moments to reflect on the accompanying questions. They will help you get clear about why your meditation practice is important to you.

Welcome back! Now that we know why meditation is important to you, it's time to decide how meditation will fit into your life. Two things we'll explore: when and where. Let's take it one step at a time ...

Listen to today's recording and then complete the accompanying reflection.

Welcome back! Today, we simply breathe ...

Let the last two days of preparation settle as you listen to today's recording. We'll continue building our foundation tomorrow.

Hello again! Let's recap: so far we've identified our why and then we chose three times in the day when we could meditate. Today we decide where to locate your meditation space. 

Listen to today's recording and then let's start planning your meditation space!

Today's the day we begin to set up your meditation space! Read the instructions first before listening to today's recording.

It's all you, babe! Today is your first meditation practice in your new space! You have all your tools and now it's up to you.

Along with today's recording, I've including a brief outline for you to follow to support you in ritualizing your practice. We want to make our practice like a ritual because it sets this time apart from the rest of your day. This is helps train your mind and brain to recognize that when we do certain things it's time to slow down and focus. Be as ritualistic with your practice as much as you can and it will only get easier.

And now, let's get to it!

Here are other programs I've created to support you in your spiritual practice! 

When we Higher-Self journal, we consciously connect to the aspect of us that is fully aligned with our Truth and is expressed through Peace, Love, Joy, and Gratitude.

Through Higher-Self journaling we actively align our mindset to one that supports joy and growth, and it is from this place do we create a life with intention.
